You will inevitably suffer a loss of quality if you record DV footage (what
I assume you mean by digital 3CCD camera) onto S-VHS. So the quality will
not be as high as that recorded by the digital camera, by a significant
margin.
The quality of the finished product is ultimately determined by what you
record it onto. So if you record onto S-VHS you will get S-VHS quality.
Which is fine if you intend to distribute your recordings on VHS or S-VHS,
but for, say, broadcast purposes it's unacceptable. The rule is generally
this - keep the quality level as high as possible throughout the production
process and only downgrade to your distribution medium when necessary.
